the departments to be seen, and the city may
be SAID to represent existence at its ebb
The view from the train as YOU approach
washington Is unIntCrcSting in the extreme.
The reddish gray sand hills of Maryland
stretch away from the railroad ON either side,
and suggest an inquiry as to how the jewellers
IN the isolated farm houses and white-washed
cabins manage to exist. But when you stand
upon some eminence within the town, or upon
one of the heights along the river, and overlook
the place, you are impressed at once with the
grandeur of the scene; and you realize that
the founders of the Capitol City selected the
best natural site in the land.
The cary history of the city is full of inter
est. 1t is a well authenticated fact that the
Father of his Country strongly recommended
this site, and his personal interviews with the
landowners have come down to u.s. Even
after Congress had selected the District. as at
present defined, for q Federal Territory diff
calty was experienced in pe.suading the
planters to surrender their titles to the soil.

Marrying an Heiress.

When a young man marries an heiress the
changes in his outward condition are subtle
but none the less interesting. Very soon
miraculously soon indeed-he becomes a little
stouter, and his walk is slower, his feet being
planted more soidly and more carefully than
they were when they carried a bachelor. His
clothes turn darker by one shade at least, and
his watch chain is certainly thought heav-
ier. The handle of his umbrella also, has
become perceptibly bigger, whereas his scarf
pins are undoubtedly more quiet in character
less fantastic and trivial. Observe him on
his way 20 a church wedding, for example,
and mark how different IS his mode of pro
erosion from that of an unattached and mis-
cellaneous youth. The rogue knows that u
good seat VIII be reserved for him near the
head of the aisle, and that he has no occasion
for hurry.
When he drives out it is in a substantial
dog cart or mail phaeton, and he escheweth-
not. perhaps, altogether without regret-the
sidebar buggy which he used to think the kind
of vehicle that he would have if he were rich.
He is now a substantial person in the com
munity-a family man, capitalist by proxy
and he begins TO have serious views Oh
political and financial matters, which he is
DESTROYS of discussing with older men In
fact, he is rather given TO stunning his con
tempOraTies, and is not altogether easy in the
society of his former companions. He has
deserted their ranks, and although he has
gained in dignity he has lost in freedom. His
chains are golden, to be sure, but they bind
with the force OF a less costly metal. No
longer for him are the delights OF midnight
cigar or refreshing brandy and soda at the
club. He is now the victim Of times and sea

proper hour arTives.-The Epoch.

The liquid may have a high head with but
little water, as in the mountain stream, while
an electric current may have great tension
and yet contain but little electricity. Light
ming is a good example Of enormous tension
with only a little electricity.
On the other hand, a great river may have

a low tension, pressure, or e. N. f., while con

THE bob VEAL" TRADE.
How the Tramc Is Conducted In this
vicinity of New York.

vicinity OF New OK.
March and April are the busiest months of
the season in the bob veal and jerked beef
traffic During these months the calf butch
ers, 50 called, swarm throughout the dairy
districts, collecting of the farmers their green
calves, seldom more than twenty-fOur hours
old, and their skinny, worn out and tottering
cows, that are past giving milk on account Of
old age, OF of the exhaustion and decrepitude
brought on by stimulating and unwhOleseme
feeds Green calves weigh forty to fifty
pounds each, and cost the butcher 81 to $50
while for the bony wrecks of the dairy he
pays s. to 80 apiece, according to the ami
mails condition.
In pursuing the traffic each calf butcher
has his territory, through which he makes
regular semi weekly rounds during the calv-
ing season, or from February l to June l.
This part of the business is carried on in all
of the dairy districts within $50 miles of New
York, without any attempt at concealment
10y the trafiickers, or any interference by the
local authorities.
Concerning the extent of the traffic, it may
be stated that in the height of the season from
seven 70 ten meat cars are run into jersey
City every night, each car loaded with several
tons of the unwholesOne meat. Occasionally
"a car load or a wagon load is seized and de
stroyed by the health officers but the business
pays so well il the long run that the butcher
or the city dealer can Lose one shipment out
of three and still net handsome profit from
the traffic.
The principal customers for this class Of
meats are the sausagemakers, the canning
factories, the cheap restaurants and the butch
ers in the poorer quarters of the city. Large
quantities of the veal are packed and sold as
canned chicken, and it is also largely used III
making Frankfurters. The beef finds its way
inf of
coTned beef and Bologna sausage, and Of the
soups, roasts, and steaks of cheap restaurants.
Most of the stuff thus palmed off upon the
public IS shockingly unfit for human food and
certain to breed disease wherever freely con
sumed.-New York Sun.

TRADE FAIRLY ACTIVE.
SPECULATION'S BAD EFFECTS
STILL FELT, HOWEVER.

Money Easier Than a Week Ago
Agitation of the Tariff Question Said
to be Having Some Effect-Collec-
tions Still Slow at Some Interior
Points.
NEW YORK, Dec. Or. G. Dun & Co.'S
review of trade for the week says:
Legitimate trade continues fairly ac-
tive for the season, though embarrassed in
some branches by fluctuations in speculative
markets.
Speculation in products, after a few days
of wild advance, has taken turn down
ward, as a natural result of the enormous
sales to realize.
With the rapidly expanding currency,
money is generally easier than week ago,
though rates are still high at many points,
and complaints of slow collections do not
diminish
The agitation of the tariff question al
ready begins to cause a revision of the cal
culations for the future in some depart
mentS.
REAL ESTATE DEALS.
sharp decline in real estate speculations
and prices at some Scuthern and Western
points tends to check developments there
and subjects investors to some financial
strain.
Large sales Of Bessemer iron at $1s 50
are reported, and a sale of steel rails, net
ting S3l at the mill has been made. Buyers
still are backward but some brokers
openly offer below $32 Virginia pig iron,
No. /, is offered at $50 for delivery, where
freight is 81 20, and some Alabama iron for
future delivery at low prices. One Thomas
furnace goes out of blast and the Lehigh
strike causes much embarrassment.
Woolens do not improve in demand, and
heavy goods open, in some cases, below last
years prices, so that manufacturers are not
encouraged to increase their purchases Of
raw wool, which appears rather weaker
CoTToN's SLIGHT DECLINE.
Raw cotton has declined &c, but goods
are held at the recent advances.
The boot and shoe trade is large and
promising, with exceptionally good pay
ments and cheaper material, but there is
complaint that competition cuts down
prices too far. Leather is weaker, but tan
ners reason that after seven years. decline,
prices are low enough

ber, and east-bound shipments are increas-
ing.
The bank exchanges Of all cities outside Of
New York begin to fall below those of last
year,
COLLECTIONS SLOW.
At most interior points trade is reported
fair for the season, but collections are slow
and have to be forced" at Atlanta, ''slow
and fairn at Memphis and Omaha, and
rather better at Kansas City. Money in
Chicago is in unabated demand at 7 per
cent, and operators bid s for funds TO carry
products at interior towns. Though the
money markets are on the whole easier,
pressure at speculative centres continues.
The average rise in food products since
Jan. l was a shade over 20 per cent. on
Tuesday, and it is questioned whether the
legitimate effect of the partial failure of
the crops has not been fully realized in
prices, but the increasing supply of currency
still tends to keep speculation active. The

MEXICO'S CLAIM.

A Belief that the Reply to this Govern
ment will be Favorable.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-There is reason
to believe that the reply of the Mexican gov
ernment to the request of Secretary Bayard
that at this time when no concrete case is
pending, it would take steps to secure the
exemption of citizens of the United States
from the claim of jurisdiction over extra
territorial crime committed upon its citizens,
will be favorable. Secretary Bayard has
prepared as a basis for his request and
transmitted to Mexico a statement of the
law upon the subject as it is recognized and
construed in all civilized countries, the re-
suit of exhaustive and intelligent record by
Mr. Moore, the Third Assistant Secretary
of State, which plainly establishes the fact
that the Mexican statutes make an excep-
sional claim. 1t is shown in this stateme mt
that the claim of extra territorial jurisdic-
tion, which it sets up has no warrant in in
ternatianal law.

81 am able to inform you that the treat
ment which the physicians prescribed, after
consulting together, has entirely removed
the Inflammation and caused tire dangerous
symptoms to subside. Meanwhile my bodily
health has been excellent. Ihave never lost
strength. My appetite is good and my
general appearance is that OF perfect health.
/ pul'posely communicate these details to
YOU because it appears TO me beyond doubt
that exaggerated accounts have been cir
culated of the appearance of fresh growth
of an unfavorable character. God will de-
termine the course which the
disease shall take. My treatment
is intrusted to the most eminent
expert, who, in spite of all the attacks
levied against hun, possesses my full conf
dence. | am in no way disheartened, and
hope one day to be able, though perhaps
only after u long period of careful treat
ment, once more to devote my powers to
the service of the Fatherlant."

Washin tons Latest Crank Bobs Up
Before the Alliance.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The Evangelical
Alliance closed its sessions, holding three
crowded meetings, to-day. Bishop Samuel
Harris, of Michigan, was the principal
speaker of the morning session, at which he
delivered an address upon the necessity of
substituting cooperation for competition
between denominations.
DR.. H. Hillup Schaff, who is termed the
father of the alliance in this country,
spoke, as also did Sam Small and other
clergymen.
While the members of the Alliance were
waiting on the portico of the White House,
Just prior to their reception by the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland, they were joined
by man who, in loud voice began to
sing doxology. He was led off by the
police and is supposed to be the same indi
vidual who created some excitement and
amusement on the opening day of Congress
by chanting the doxology from the galleries
just as the House was called to order.
